This allow specialized shaders to redefine the closure interface to fit their needs.
For instance, Volumetric closure needs to pass more than one vec4 (absorption vec3, scattering vec3, anisotropy float).
Not a single node based shader was working since a recent merge from
master.
The merge brought changes from the principle bsdf shader where
unsupported gl_ProjectionMatrix was still being used.
Implement GTAO (Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion) which is a special case of Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion that is more physically accurate.
Also add a bent normal option to sample indirect irradiance (diffuse lighting) with the least occluded direction.
This makes the node menus aware of the Cycles/Eevee distinction, and
only show the relevant nodes for the current engine. Names have also
been changed to accomodate for the new output node system.
This makes Eevee consistent with Cycles, by having a single output node,
and multiple shader nodes that connect to it.
Note that node systems for Eevee saved before this will be missing the
output node, and thus will show an invalid material. This is easily
resolved by connecting the shader output to a new output node.
prefer vector math over scalar
prefer * over /
shorten vec3(x, x, x) to vec3(x)
use clamp, max, etc. instead of custom logic
declare loop vars as part of for loop
spacing
- code_generate_fragment : Making sure that shaders uses the new uniforms.
- code_generate_vertex_new : create require attribute based on their names and not their id (see draw_cache_impl_mesh.c).
- add support for ramp textures.
- Unify GPUMaterial creation (world/mesh).
- Support for multiple shader variations (not used for now).
- Convert GPUInputs to DRWUniforms to be used with the draw manager.
- Nodetree Update is not supported. The only way to refresh the shaders is to change render engine.
- Cleanup in GPUPass.
- Add new temporary Node Compatibility type. Compatibility types should be removed in the future.
